Taishou Otome Otogibanashi

Taishou Otome Otogibanashi (Taisho Maiden Fairytale) is a completed manga with 38 chapters that I just finished reading. The English fan scanlation is by Sea Otter Scans and it is likewise complete.

TBH, I liked it but there was one arc that was boring because, for some reason, the mangaka introduced some minor characters who seem pointless to me. The other arcs are pretty good though, so all is forgiven.

I love the art. The kimonos are mostly everyday kimonos, not the super fancy ones worn at more formal occasions but they are pretty nice.

She comes into his life like an innocent ray of sunshine, and Tamahiko’s view of the world and his life starts changing bit-by-bit…
